Kansas State Contact: Susan Arnold E-mail: ptp@familiestogetherinc.org Family Voices in Kansas stands ready to assist families seeking help, and we have links to the Part C, Early Intervention program and the local ICC level. We are also involved with Title V and we monitor plans for children and youth with special health care needs under the Title V program, Medicaid, and SCHIP. We are very concerned with the implications for children and youth with special health care needs under programs such as IDEA, Medicaid, Home and Community Based Waivers, Vocational Rehab and Department on Developmental Disabilities. Our Family Voices newsletter reaches 120 families and efforts are underway to develop stronger links to existing parent organizations in Kansas to help get more attention and resources on health topics.

KODA Home KDOA Programs Relatives As Parents Program A Program for Grandparents and Other Relatives Serving as Caregivers For Children Who We Are Several agencies concerned with the welfare of older adults, children and youth are coming together to begin the Relatives As Parents Program. Referred to as "RAPP", this program will work to help relatives who are raising children; especially as it relates to grandparents raising grandchildren. Why We Exist RAPP exists to let grandparents and relatives know that "You are not alone!" Problems that we encounter in everyday life can affect our families. More and more today, parents are unable to care for their children. Grandparents and other relatives frequently take on that responsibility in an effort to help. In Kansas, as in the entire United States, there has been a steady increase in the number of children living with grandparents and other relatives. The 2000 Census Bureau Report shows that 2.4 millions grandparents are taking on primary responsibility for their grandchildren's needs, many without a parent in the home. In Kansas, 17,873 grandparents reported that they are raising their grandchildren. This is not just a caregiver issue, however. According to 2000 Census data, in the United States, more than six million children, approximately 1 in 12 children, are living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. Of these, close to 20% are in the formal foster care system. The remaining 80% and the caregivers who are responsible for them receive little assistance, and may encounter systems that make it difficult to access even basic services, such as health care and educational services. Kansas has 35,274 children living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives.

100. Why Kansas Homeschoolers Should Reject Moundridge's Mid-Kansas Independent Acade this subject, I am strongly opposed to this or any program whereby homeschooling families would be directly subsidized by the state. kansas homeschoolers not http://www.kansashomeschool.org/CN2000/MKIA.htm

CHECK Home News and Events Why Kansas Homeschoolers Should Reject Moundridge's Mid-Kansas Independent Academy by Jim Farthing, Editor CHECK News This is admittedly a clever program, which may in fact be completely legal under the existing statutory framework. MPS have managed to establish what is effectively a state-funded school voucher program for homeschoolers without the Kansas Legislature's direct consent. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no official reaction to the MKIA program from any state-level authority. CHECK Chairman David Barfield contacted Rod Bieker, general counsel for the Kansas Dept. of Education, to inquire if MKIA's program had been approved. Mr. Bieker replied that it had not. In his view, MKIA's reimbursement of expenditures made by parents is not authorized, but he could not state unequivocally that this is the case. The KDOE is apparently seeking an opinion from the Kansas Attorney General as to whether the MKIA program can be funded. He also speculated that a lawsuit might be necessary to resolve the issue. MPS Superintendent Rustin Clark has been speaking with homeschooling families and support groups all over the state, and word of this program is beginning to spread through the grapevine. According to hearsay reports, perhaps as many as 50 homeschooling families have already signed on.
